Jhongshe Historical House

Jhongshe historical house is one of the more well-preserved traditional houses in Penghu County. Originally named "Flower House", legend has it that when this village was first established, their ancestors looked at the local terrain, and discovered that the mountains surrounding the place are just like lotus petals. Therefore, they first reclaimed the land around "the heart of the flower" (Shanzaiweiding) and built a house, thus naming it "Flower House", also meaning the house that was built at the heart of the flower. In 1971, the late president Chiang Ching-kuo visited the flower house, and seeing that it sits in the middle of four other villages in Wangan Township, renamed it "Jhongshe" (the village in the middle). The village is filled with ancient houses that are built of coral reefs.More
